Dialogue[edit]

|
|
I'll ask again: Do you know what this weekend is?
|
|
Uh oh, you look angry. It must be our anniversary?
|
|
*shakes head and grumbles*
|
|
No, that's not anniversary-level anger. Your birthday?
|
|
*shakes head and grumbles louder*
|
|
Wow, a double grumble. What I meant to say is, it's...Valentine's Day?
|
|
Oh Homie, you really had me going there. I knew you remembered!
|
|
As if I would ever forget our anniv—
|
|
|
*short grumble*
|
|
Our Annivalentine's Day.

Love Tester
|
|
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Have you thought any more about that couples' retreat? I think it would be a lot of fun.
|
|
It WOULD be a lot of fun. But you know what else would be even more fun? Doing something that's not that at all.
|
|
What did you have in mind?
|
|
|
What would you say if I took you to the Superior Mega Ultra Slam?
|
|
|
A wrestling match? I'd say, "Try again".
|
|
|
Okay then. What if I take LENNY to the Superior Mega Ultra Slam?
|
|
|
Homer, if you want to spend Valentine's Day at a wrestling match with some guy you work with—
|
|
|
Be fair, he's also some guy I drink with.
|
|
|
—then don't let me stop you.
|
|
Oh, Marge you're the best. I wish Barney had taken the news as well as you.
|
Task: "Collect Chocolates" (x155).

Task: "Make Marge Seethe". The job takes place at the Simpson House or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.

|
This was the greatest wrestling match ever. How did you ever get away with spending Valentine's Day with me?
|
|
Eh, Barney didn't care after all.
|
|
But what about Marge?
|
|
|
She was fine. She practically begged me to go to the match without her.
|
|
|
Wow, Marge sure is the best. How'd you get so lucky?
|
|
Well, if you ask me, the key to a strong marriage is to fill your spouse's world with constant surprises...
|
|
|
Now, let's go surprise her by getting her to make us a postgame snack!

|
|
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
Homer, I'm glad you're finally home. There's something I need to tell you.
|
|
|
Great. But first, would you mind whipping up some midnight nachos?
|
|
|
No, it's too important to wait.
|
|
|
Fine. And then the nachos?
|
|
|
Homer, I need you out of the house for a while.
|
|
|
While you make the nachos?
|
|
|
Homer, I need you to move out until I've had some time to clear my head.
|
|
|
You're kicking me out? All because I asked for nachos?!
|
|
|
It's not about the nachos!
|
|
Phew.
|
|
I just need some time alone to think about our relationship.
|
|
You're thinking?! That's never a good thing for me.
|
|
|
Look, I packed an overnight bag for you. I'll call you when I'm ready to talk.
|
|
Okay, honey. Whatever you need. But before I go, can I ask one more thing?
|
|
What?
|
|
|
Would you mind whipping up some midnight nachos?
|
|
|
Out!
|
|
|
*hangs head and leaves*
|
|
|
Should I go too?
|
Task: "Collect Chocolates" (x115).
Task: "Make Homer Get Kicked Out". The job takes place at the Simpson House or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
*sigh* Worst. Valentine's Day. Ever.
|
|
*clears throat* You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
|
|
|
How can Homer be so selfish! He's always sitting on the couch, watching TV while I do everything for this family.
|
|
|
The only time I sit on the couch and watch TV are those few seconds every week when something weird happens.
|
|
|
That ends now. *turns on TV*
|
|
Tonight, on Eye on Springfield, I'm joined by romance novelist, Esme Delacroix.
|
|
|
Her new romance novel, "The Lord of the Scoundrels", just broke the record for pre-orders. For a romance novel.
|
|
|
A romance novel? I wonder if I could write one. Or maybe just READ one.
|
|
|
Actually, you wrote and published The Harpooned Heart. It was a cause celebre in Springfield gossip circles but critically panned.
|
|
|
That's right! And I even started on a sequel. Well, now's my chance to finish it. Right after I throw you out.
|
|
|
I am duly removed.
|
|
Should I go too?

Harpooned Heart Billboard
|
|
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
Okay, let's get this sequel started. How did the first one end?
|
|
|
Oh, that's right. Temperance Barrows watched her oafish husband, Captain Mordecai, and her secret lover, Cyrus Manley, lash themselves to a whale and drown at sea.
|
|
|
I suppose I'll have to come up with a whole new set of original characters and unique situations. Or... *starts typing*
|
|
Oh, sweet Cyrus, thank you for waking me up from a terrible nightmare...
|
|
Now that we've run away together, I no longer have a husband who just sits on the porch all day and watches the sea.
|
|
That will never happen with me, my sweet. I get seasick just doing the laundry. Now, how can I help you with your daily chores?
|
|
|
Well, I was about to do the laundry.
|
|
Oh, then let me make us dinner!
|
|
Who says "write what you know"?
|
Task: "Collect Chocolates" (x155).
Task: "Make Marge Live Vicariously Through Her Writing". The job takes place at the Simpson House or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Thank you for the lovely meal, Cyrus.
|
|
|
It was the least I could do for you after a long day of watching me clean the rain gutters. Now, are you ready for *raises eyebrows* "dessert"?
|
|
|
Well, it is our anniversary...
|
|
It's our anniversary?
|
|
You forgot?! My heavens, you too?
|
|
I'm not sure what you mean...?
|
|
|
Forget it! I'm going for a walk.
|
|
|
Be careful, my darling, I haven't swept the path today!
|

Temperance's House
|
|
| After completing Pt. 4
|
|
|
How can I express what Temperance is feeling when she's alone on her walk?
|
|
|
I know! I'll have her say just what she's thinking and doing out loud. That's a standard technique in great writing.
|
|
|
I can't believe that Cyrus forgot our anniversary. I feel like the whole world is going crazy. Oh, and will you look at that, my heel has just broken!
|
|
|
Maybe our neighbor can offer some assistance to a woman in need. *knocks on door*
|
|
|
*hears knocking* Ugh, Homer I told you that I would call when I'm ready to talk. You're interrupting my creative flow.
|
|
|
*opens door* Oh, can I help you?
|
|
|
Hello. My name is Temperance Barrows. I was walking along your unswept path and my shoe broke.
|
|
I'm sorry, did you say your name was Temperance Barrows?
|
|
|
Indeed. Of the Nantucket Barrows. Could I trouble you for a mallet and a few nails?
|
|
Oh...my...God...
|
|
|
Then maybe just some twine?
|
Task: "Collect Chocolates" (x195).
Task: "Make Marge Confront Her Creation". The job takes place at the Simpson House or a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
